This was a real pain for you, but better for the engine to have needed repairs while you were in the marina, and not giving out in the middle of a lock or along a deserted part of the canal.
Happy belated Birthday Pete. I celebrated my 65th on Monday. Glad to see you had some lovely weather and that you got the engine sorted out. Have a great trip
Have to let the secret out to me of longevity. At my current standing.. near give up 😂 hope Monday was decent! So many boat issues since start, not even funny now lol
Mechanics are not cheap, you should look into joining the RCR(River Canal Rescue). They have different levels of membership ranging from basic to bronze, silver and gold. Bronze might be a good start for you as you get up to 4 call-outs per annum. It’s like the AA or RAC of the waterways. Worth looking into for peace of mind. Good luck.
Yep. Had that chat other day. Though for 2 visits and a part order.. wasn’t bad for the price to be fair. Just turn engine daily.. make sure still going till leave!
Happy birthday from Naperville, Illinois. (USA). Been watching your blogs since the beginning. So sorry you had so many problems with your engine. Glad to see that they’ve been sorted. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable journey.
Happy Birthday Pete. Glad the engine is running good now. Loved to pics at the end, this will be the start of your journey I presume. Looks pretty in the sunlight. You’ll be fine travelling, loads of lessons you’ll be learning but you’ll be a pro in a couple of weeks. Look forward to the journey to London. Have a good week. 😊🙏
Happy birthday to you 🎂 so sorry you're having such a painful time with your engine. Hopefully, you're ready to slip your lines for your journey South soon.
Well happy birthday and always good to know a good mechanic especially for boats .. happy cruising when you get going and good luck getting out of the marina that first bridge exit can be tricky sometimes....lol.👍
Belated Happy Birthday- you are due for smooth sailing- enjoying your video on my deck- finally could head outside as got a little cooler- reached 48.8c today- can’t wait for videos of your future endeavours!
Happy birthday, nice of the sun to shine for you. It's been stinking hot here in Ontario, 33C+ where I am but outback on the deck it's 54C+ could be more, my thermometer doesn't go beyond 54. Hopefully no forest fires this year. I do like Cab Calloway's music, makes ya wanna dance😂. My boys have tats, one has a Chinese dragon on his back, as does his dad, the other has a Grotesque on his. I love tats but never wanted any myself. Now the journey can get under way.
Sun good. Todays heat. God awful 😂 I’m terrible. Heat lol. But think yours poss wins! Wanted more finishing to what have..life got in way years back! Well.. travels are coming and repairs afoot 🙏
